Aston Martin are taking giant steps so far this season to stay in the position they have managed to reach this year 2023. Now, those from Silverstone are highlighting an area they believe they still need to improve.
Aston Martin strives to be more grounded
So far this year, Aston Martin has established itself as surprise of the year, currently sitting third in the Constructors’ Championship and taking six podium finishes in eight different races.
However, the British team is working tirelessly to keep improving and achieving their goals. To do this, Tom McCullough, Aston Martin’s Director of Performance, highlighted the aspect where they feel they need to be better: at cadence on all kinds of tracks.
“We know that The car is strong in many conditions, but the operating window from an aerodynamic point of view was not as good as we would like. This forces us to compromise It prevents us from maximizing performance on a particular track Or it doesn’t fit our car.McCullough said in words published by Racing 365 News.
To date, the worst results have come in Azerbaijan and Spain, both races in which no rider in green has made a podium finish. However, they have managed to perform in a wide variety of circuits, such as Jeddah, Monaco or Miami, for example.
But to achieve that greater consistency, Aston Martin is making improvements, like the one they’ve taken to Canada, with the aim of further developing the AMR23. The next Aston Martin upgrade package will arrive at the British Grand Prix, which takes place from 7-9 July.
“One of the goals with the improvement of Canadaand those who will come, is that This problem will be less in the future. Circuits like Bahrain or Barcelona, with all kinds of curves, allow us to see how the car works more easily, but we want our region to be able to perform on any type of circuit and condition.”commented Aston Martin.
“Upgrades change the performance of the car and that’s something we’re trying to do with the cars that are in Canada. With the others, we’re also trying to do that and It has been observed that the vehicle operating window is stronger in some circles and weaker in others. We want the car to perform well on as many tracks as possible, however We’ll need two races to distinguish it“confirming that concludes Tom McCullough.
